Here are the block conditions and violations for this past Friday and Saturday:
Friday May 30, 2025
Saturday May 31, 2025
This marks the 25th consecutive week of documented violations under Permit No.1091787 on the 400 block of Hayes Street. Despite repeated reports, the permit holder continues to operate in breach of permit conditions with no visible enforcement action from your agency.
We also want to reiterate an ongoing concern: each weekend, the permit holder displays unauthorized advertising and promotional signage including custom-printed “Hayes Promenade” traffic cones and branded sawhorses. These materials are used to promote the closure as a formal or permanent City initiative, despite no such designation. As you are aware, advertising of this nature is not permitted under the terms of the current closure.
We demand that SFMTA direct the permit holder to immediately cease all use of promotional signage and branded materials, and to clarify publicly that this remains a temporary, contested permit, not an approved or permanent program.
Again, we hereby demand that this permit be revoked immediately. It’s time to re-open our business corridor.
